Question

Can someone help me with these problems please having trouble and show work!

Answer 1

solution will be

1. 4x²-6x-4

2. 8x³+4x²-8x-4

3. x⁵-x⁴+3x³+x²+12

Explanation:

1. (4x+2)(x-2)

apply foil method (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd

(4x+2)(x-2)=4x.x + 4x(-2) + 2x + 2(-2)

• 4x²-8x+2x-4
• 4x²-6x-4

2. (4x²-4) (2x+1)

apply the same method as question no.1

(4x²-4) (2x+1)=4x².2x + 4x².1 + -4.2x-4.1

• 8x³+4x²-8x-4

3. (x²+3) (x³-x²+4)

Distributive parentheses

(x²+3) (x³-x²+4)= x².x³ + x²(-x²) + x².4+ 3x³+3(-x²) +3.4

• x⁵-x⁴+3x³+x²+12
